Floating Raft Deep Water Culture
Author: Jared Bouck
Project Cost: 20.00
Est Construction Time: 1.5 Hr
Required Skill Level: Can you use scissors safely?
So I've been on a hydroponics kick it seems lately. it's not that I'm some sort of vegan hippy tree hugger… I still play with my Arduino's, blow stuff up and have midnight raves with led's. But there is something just captivating with watching the grass grow. This project has to be my favorite hydroponic project so far. Not because its technically difficult, it's not. Not because I'm breaking down walls of intellectual bullshit so anyone at home can do it. Not even because its oxygenating my office, but that's a nice perk. No I have to say this is my favorite hydroponic project because of the results. It takes about 4 weeks to go from seed to sea of edible green! The rate of growth for this is insane. Anyone can do this at home and definitely its practical indoors or outdoors. yep this can be scaled up big time. Perhaps I will… Try this one!
For this project we will be using a lot of parts. There is a lot of flexibility in what materials you can use. However, for the main tub that we will be using you may need to do a little hunting. For this project you need to find a tub that has straight walls all the way to the bottom. If they are tapered you will have the foam not sit right and you can get problems from roots drying out to algae. Also… once you find the right tub, if its clear then paint it black.
Next we will be using some construction foam insulation. The main reason we prefer this is that it is not going to pollute our water and more over it is laminated front and back with a plastic film that adds to strength a great deal. You can find this very cheap at any home improvement store.
Now to hit ebay. I picked up this set of 2 inch online for about $5.00. 2 inch seems to be ideal for both the size of plan but also the Rockwool we will be using.
Here we have our Rockwool cubes. Every time I use this stuff I am impressed more and more. Simple, clean, disposable and very effective. This helps plants root well and retain moisture that especially young plants need. These are 2 inch cubes. Make sure to soak these in a low ph solution per the manufacturer's instructions for best results.
Here we have a simple 2 output 9 dollar aquarium pump. We will use one of these for each tub/raft we make to oxygenate the water and keep it from stagnating.

Unfortunately betel nut has no redeeming features - unless you call periodontal disease, tooth loss and oral cancer to be positives.Also great damage to land - google 'betel' and landslides'Need to find another tree for multicropping, and not grow it on such a slope.
Encouraging news from what has been a very despressing industry of late. If only this kind of structural complexity could be applied to the rich worlds agriculture systems. Alas, we seem to be far too concerned with profits and high wages to consider getting rid of the heavy machinery. Canada is currently trying to bring in large amounts of labour from South East Asia and South America to work the argicultural system because so few are willing to work the difficult jobs on the farms for the low wages the foriegners accept (at least we are told that is the reason.) With a little structural complexity and the right marketing to labour (work outside, breath fresh air, get excercise) we could go a long way to retaining profitability in agriculture and finding locals willing to accept the relatively low wages. This would also make it easier to support the '100km diet' by varying the nutrients available from a specific piece of land. With the right structural complexity you may be able to acquire all the nutrients needed to remain healthy from within 100 km of your home (something difficult to accomplish in this rather cold area of the globe), further reducing the fossil fuels needed to feed a population. It may also reduce the amount of chemical fertilizers needed and again reduce the environmental inpacts of agricultural production. Once again, it appears the future needs of the rich world will be developed in poorer areas.
Dear Madam or Sir;Thanks for your article on "Forest-friendly farming" in the November 8th issue. Your readers may be interested to know that the biodiversity benefit of areca palm production in India is by no means an isolated case. Colleagues at Cornell University and Ecoagriculture Partners found more than 80 scientific studies documenting agricultural practices that each benefit at least three taxa of wild animal species. Scores of other examples in the field, in both temperate and tropical agricultural landscapes, illustrate diverse crop species mixtures; crop, livestock and natural resource management practices; and structural arrangements of production and conservation elements, that are both profitable for farmers and good for nature (see Farming with Nature*). Agriculture has a dominant ecological influence today in more than 80% of terrestrial land areas, including major watersheds and wildlife habitats, and sustainable production depends on healthy ecosystems. To meet the intertwined challenges of increasing food production, securing water resources, and protecting threatened biodiversity--while mitigating and adapting to climate change-- investment, research and policy support for such systems need to be scaled up dramatically.*S.J.Scherr and J.A.McNeely, Eds. 2007.

Dear Economist,I am very glad to see this article, though unsurprised by the researcher's findings. Regarding the author's parting shot at rice paddy diversity, I would like to suggest a second look. Sustainably raised rice paddies are highly diverse environments, not only for the variety of rices grown (did you know the International Rice Research Institute suspects there to be upwards of 50,000 different varieties on the planet?!), but also for the fish, birds, frogs, and edible 'weeds' that grow in the paddies and along the paddy margin. Because these features can impact the total volume of rice grains harvested, these 'messy' paddies had been considered inefficient, but they are far from that! The economic and health values of the additional nutrition available in these diverse protein and plant sources far outweighs the worth of the rice lost to their presence. How we measure efficiency is critical to how we proceed in developing the agricultural livelihoods of the world's farmers. Measuring the yield of a single crop per unit of land gives us a false view of what works. It is only when we measure the total output of that unit of land, no matter the crop species, that we get a true sense for the fecundity of the planet. Happily, it is this measurement that allows us to re-assess the economic value of including structural diversity- such as intercropping, hedgerows, and woodlots- in our productive landscapes. These features translate to robust ecological biodiversity, and to the provision of critical and under-appreciated ecosystems services such as erosion control, water quality improvements, water infiltration and retention, wind mitigation, and active mychorrizal soil fungi to help with nutrient uptake by the plants. Price that, Remington!Molly Phemisterfreelance writer focused on landscape issues
Dear friends of the environment, I am taking the wondrous initiative of what is done in your part of the World, elsewhere. Unfortunately in South America great extensions of farmlands are devastated by mono crops (soy) and grand scale intensive use of unfriendly machinery consuming unrenewable fossil fuel, with the sole purpose to feed Asia with protein.These farmlands have unfortunately already been long lost to the native shrubland and fallen to the hands of greedy Multinationals raking in a difference by feeding Asian markets, with a blind eye going a bit further to the use of massive grain carriers motoring (not sailing!which of course would be very environmentally friendly) the seas on non-renewable fossil fuels and maybe even hush-hush, a sort of slave labour on board? All these stages are purposely not in agenda or controlled because it affects certain dark interests which of course are not the case to comment on now.I kindly invite sensitive locals and also those from afar to get involved with the necessary tecnicians to take a view on this controversive issue that concerns the immense particular environment affected to soybean farmlands.It would be a healthy, proactive scene to propose a sustainable new programme to be able to involve this idea of "structural complexity" with refence to soybean in South America. Of course, Great Groups would frown down upon as they would have to necessarily contemplate adjusting preposterous management, the so called "bull in a china-shop syndrome" and bow down for once and for all to "environmentally friendly" way of getting around things.Congratulations to the President of Argentina Mrs. Fernandez on her claim to biodiversity in farming early on this year. She was the first one ever to tackle this issue regarding Argentina.Thanks for your precious time!
In Vietnam, this kind of intercropping is very common. You grow jackfruit trees, which create shade. Then you grow pepper vines on the trees themselves. Finally, in the shady spaces between trees, you can grow coffee. The result is three crops in one space, at the cost of unautomated farming. Of course, most developing and poor country farming is anyway not mechanized, so in the case of Vietnam this is no great loss.
Dear Sirs,
today's world agriculture is totally distorted. Few have enormous amount of capital, fertilizers and machinery (both, very oil-intensive and unsustainable), and most have none.
A balancing of these "capital" and "energy" intensities, will substantially increase overall farm labour productivity and total output, in an environmentally sustainable way..
In addition, new varieties of crops are been selected, with much greater yields per hectare and lower water requirements. For example, our Partnership is on the verge of introducing wordwide – and financing - an oil crop, with a yield per ha. 2.5 times that of rapeseed, sunflower and soy.
Millions of hectares less (and less water) will be required to produce the same crops.
Mega mono-crop, oil-intensive, industrial agriculture plantations, that disrupt biodiversity and local livelihoods, will be fazed out; smallholder farming will be better organized, and multi-cropping, biodiversity corridors and wildlife protected areas will be, once more, possible.
Overall, agriculture, one of the top GHG emitters, will be heading towards greater productivity, while at the same time being able to reduce its present disastrous impact on the animal kingdom and climate change. A lower consumption of beef, and its partial substitution with vegetal protein, will bring an additional substantial benefit, environmentally, socially and ethically.
So, yes, we will have our cake and eat it too…
One day, not far in the future, humans will stop devastating the Earth.

Dear Sir,I am the lead author of the scientific article reported on here. I would like to compliment the Economist for writing such an excellent piece. I would also like to respond to the comments made by "LSerbansecu", who was very pessimistic regarding the possibility of combining tropical agriculture with biodiversity conservation. The structural complexity of the areca nut plantations, in fact, increases their biological and economic productivity. Part of the structural complexity in these plantations is caused by intercropping with other high-value crops, such as pepper and vanilla. Consequently, arecanut farming is the most profitable kind of farming in the region and arecanut farmers are very well off, by local standards. It would be hard to find a better "win-win" for local livelihoods and biodiversity conservation. LSerbansecu also makes the point that increasing structural complexity is not possible in all agricultural situations. This is certainly true, but the whole point of the article is that there are at least some situations where agriculture and biodiversity conservation are not mutually exclusive. This is really positive news for a region of the world that could use some good news in conservation.
Dear Sirs,
We have here in the Brazilian Amazon similar pilot projects with small organic familiy farming for local fruits (mainly Camu-Camu and Araza-boi) in the forest. We will also incorporate some Acai palms in our projects. Acai palms are very attractiv for birds. The reaction of the local wildlife in our projects is up to now very positiv. We think that this approach is very promising.

The structural complexity you are talking about makes for poor productivity therefore is dependant on perpetual cheap labor force. It will be impossible to manage it mechanically, with current technologies. So we are back to square 1: traditional societies are less capable at destroying wildlife, while development brings an end to many species. How do you expect to increase the "structural complexity" of corn or sugar cane fields, or even of palm tree plantations, and still keep them manageable? You cannot have your cake and eat it, too.

Composer Zimmer Talks Sherlock Holmes, Inception, Dark Knight, It's Complicated
In many ways, the best thing about Sherlock Holmes is its score (released January 12), featuring exotic Hungarian and gypsy instruments. It's one of about a hundred movie scores delivered by prolific German composer Hans Zimmer, who has earned six Oscar nominations; he won for The Lion King in 1994.
Articulate and charming, Zimmer invited me to his lair in Santa Monica, a sprawling complex housing other composers as well as rooms crammed with synthesizers, computers and towers of servers. He's currently working on Inception for Chris Nolan, for whom he composed the score for The Dark Knight. He gave me a tour, showed me where and how he composes and explained his working process on the scores for Sherlock Holmes, It's Complicated, Gladiator, and The Dark Knight. He even plays a bit.

Hans Zimmer, Academy Award Press Statement
Conan Doyle realized that a successful lead character needs to play the fiddle. I wish all filmmakers did. It makes writing the score so much easier. With Guy's great encouragement we took the orchestra out of the lofty spheres of the concert hall and brought them back to the pub, where they seem right at home. After all, There is no human emotion that has not - at one time or other - been profoundly expressed in a pub, and I'm so grateful that my peers at the Academy have recognized that. This is the year where we pit the humble banjo against the might of the orchestra.

I've never had any luck overwintering Pampas Grass, but then again, I only tried the one time. Check out the Far North Forum, Sierra has started some from seed. Perhaps she can give you some details how to overwinter it. Sharon |
Here is a link that might be useful: Far North Gardening
Pampass is an evergreen grass that takes a long time to produce the plumes. I have one here in Victoria from the previous owner of the garden. It takes drought quite well but it starts in April and the plumes are ready in October. Snow can brake the plumes so gardeners in Vancouver might cut a few plumes for the indoors if a winter outflow is forecast. The plumes are often left for winter interest on this coast. Many gardeners in Victoria cut it a foot from the ground as spring arrives. It gets messy when as an old plant. Freezing the roots will nuke the plant so they are mostly seen at low elevations near the ocean. Deep soil is required to make the plant become tall. Deer resistant. Cheers |

The Sket Dan develop an obsession for the latest toy craze that goes a bit over board while Momoka reveals her new makeover, both in an out. Will the Sket Dan overcome their excessive toy addiction and is the old Momoka lost forever?
"Graffiti" by Gackt
Bossun tries to negotiate a fair trade with Switch over a toy however the latter remains stubborn, refusing to agree to the proposal, prompting Himeko to exclaim that the two are acting like children. As the group walk home together, Switch and Bossun immediately notice and run off to a toy vending machine, leaving behind Himeko who expresses her frustration over their childlike behavior. However, after witnessing Bossun get a cute villainous toy from the machine, she easily becomes hooked and decides to give it a shot. But her excitement is replaced with disappointment as she opens the container to find a toy named "Anthony" which according to the boys, is a minor (and useless) character in a not-so-popular show called the "Super Slim-Figured Slenders" that revolves around a team of five eccentric heroes. Determined to get a cute and valuable toy like Bossun and Switch, Himeko gives it another go, but she yet again gets Anthony, causing her to burst in rage. Not giving up yet, Himeko tries for a third time but ends up getting Anthony once again. Bossun then takes his turn and gets an adorable pink toy cup called the "Clam Chowder", causing Himeko to exclaim her disbelief over its incredible cuteness. Desperate to have it, Himeko offers to trade her three Anthonys in exchange but Bossun declines, telling her that their value are not the same.
As they continue to buy more and more toys, Bossun remarks that they almost have the entire collection, with the only missing toy being the "Spy Spider". Convinced that the last toy in the vending machine is the Spy Spider, Switch runs to get more change however while doing so, a young boy comes by and buys it before them. Eager to get it from him, Himeko and Bossun offer him any toy from their pile in exchange for the one he had just bought. The boy agrees and gives them the toy, causing the team to cry tears of joy over completing their toy collection. But as they open the plastic ball, their tears of joy become tears of sorrow upon seeing not the Spy Spider but the "Breeder", which is a figurine of a man with a dog. After seeing their depressive state, the boy tells them that he has the toy they want and offers to trade them for six of their toys. The team gladly accept and celebrate their accomplishment of completing the Super Slim-Figured Slenders collection. But later that day, they finally realize that they've wasted all their money on the toys they no longer had any use for, leaving them empty and dejected.
As the Sket Dan sit glumly, Momoka's gang show up and ask for their advice about Momoka. They explain that they haven't been hanging out with her lately, partly because of her busy work schedule and partly due to her personality change. Unsure of what to do, Himeko tells them that its natural for a person to change once they have a job, student or not, with Switch adding that as a popular voice actress, things change making it difficult for her to go back to the way things were. Although Bossun pitches in saying that Momoka has not forgotten about them, the girls just ignore his remarks and thank Switch and Himeko for their advice.
As Himeko wonders how Momoka has changed, the named girl appears at the doorway with a completely new appearance and personality, shocking everyone in the room, except for Switch. Himeko and Bossun begin to question if she's really the same person as they observe her over-the-top bubbly and girlish behavior while Momoka's gang observes the exchange from the window. Although Himeko admits her new look is somewhat cute, she begins to voice her irritation at her way of speaking. Switch explains that its possibly due to "overmethoding" whereby the strong influence of her moe anime characters that she voices have effected the way she talks. Still, Himeko says, she wants the old Momoka, who spoke in Yankee style, to return to which Momoka denies remembering, saying that she came from a "Peach Planet". Switch yet again explains that its only understandable that Momoka would bury her delinquent past since it would only scandalize her career. Momoka concurs and adds that her new personality became second nature to her. Bossun tells her that she doesn't have to forget her past because doing so would mean turning her back on the people she cared for back then.
Behind a tree, a cameraman is seen spying on Momoka which causes Momoka's gang to take action by pinning him down. Momoka and the rest run to the window and ask what's going on with Inui responding that the man is a tabloid photographer who tried to get some dirt on her. He smirks upon learning that Momoka was a delinquent and states that he's got a huge scoop as he was about to take a photo. Himeko, whose rage begins to rise, knocks his camera from his hands and threatens him, causing the man to run off in fear. Her friends apologize saying that if they hang around her it'll only spell trouble but Momoka states otherwise, telling them that this is not who she is and that Himeko almost blowing her top made her realize that. She then informs everyone that she'll be on a talk show where she'll set things right and asks them to watch it.
The following day, Himeko appears on a talk show where the host asks if the gang-like outfit she's wearing is part of her new role to which she answers that this is what she always wears. Although the woman tries to change the subject, Momoka suddenly announces to the viewers that she used to be a delinquent and tells them that although she loves her career, she does not want to pretend to be someone she's not so she's decided to quit being a voice actress. In class, Himeko and Bossun watch her dramatic speech on the latter's cell phone when Chuuma confiscates it as punishment for their inattention during class time. After the show, Momoka is reunited with her friends while a director, who saw her entire performance, declares her as the leading female heroine in his upcoming TV drama to the press.

How nice. And from the fallen blooms that I see on the floor (in picture), looks like you have enjoyed bloomage for a while. And look at some of the unopened huge flower buds! Looks like we sort-of-kind-of have a cold front/freeze but luckily none of my camellias are anywhere ready to bloom although I have ones I have not checked in the last 2 weeks or so. Close to 32F now but it will be worse Sunday Night to Monday Morning from what I understand. |

Yes, this one has been blooming for maybe 3 weeks. Flowers freeze around mid-20s but unopened buds seem hardy to around upper teens maybe. |

Recently, my 32 inch Sharp HDTV has two vertical blue bars (about 1 1/2 wide)that appear on the screen. They are present even when the TV is disconnected from cable or antenna, and also when DVD or games are used. The TV is one month out of warranty. I am hoping that it is some kind of interference and not the set, but that may wishful thinking. Any ideas what may be the cause? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not interference. IIRC, my former service tech friend said this kind of problem is a defective drive IC. You'll need to take it to a service station. But, call Sharp customer service and see if they will cover the repair. |
Thanks for the info. I called Sharp customer service and they requested some digital photos showing the problem, which I did. They replied that they received them and will get back to me after technicians examine the pictures. All of my old CRT tvs lasted at least 10 years. Now this high tech $1300 set may require an expensive repair after only 13 months. Bad luck or reliabilty issue? |
Probably bad luck. Sharp enjoys a decent reliability rating. Did they hint at covering the repair? |
I assume that Sharp customer service will want to identify the problem first before any discussion about repair costs. I will try very hard to get some help because it seems that the driver IC is quite expensive to replace. |

For those of you who want to go for an amazing trail run or hike, I suggest you go to Turkey Run off of the George Washington Parkway in Virginia (between 495 and DC). If you take the trail down to the bottom of the hill, you can walk along the Potomac River for miles. If you feel adventurous, leave the path and explore! You'll find remnants of old houses, ditches dug in the civil war, equipment used to blast out the rock to build the parkway, and then there's all the amazing flora and fauna. Keep an eye out for the deer, look across the river at Maryland and DC. We go all year around and just love it. report a problem

Hey Forum. So I just finished a game (lost) as Karthus. Thing is, my team started raging saying how I only use my ult when enemies are low health and that its KS (btw most the time the enemy is about to escape or our team is about to die). I was telling them how thats how the ult is, it attacks everyone, and the best use is when everyone is low health. They said that I should only ult when I was attacking a hero. So what do you guys think? Karthus ult considered KS? (Btw I don't mind when people are KSing since its a team effort)
Senior Member
If Karthus is stacking Mejai's, **** it, let him stack Mejai's.
So your question is 'Is it kill stealing to kill an enemy that is not going to die?'. Seems pretty straightforward.
As a general rule, there's no reason to wonder about "kill stealing" in a team game like this. So long as the enemy dies, I don't care WHO got the final blow. Every second the enemy champion is alive is a second you should be trying to kill them, and if I defer on a killing opportunity to avoid somehow "stealing" the credit, that champion will deal our team more damage than otherwise. So no, I don't think it's a KS. It's teamwork!
if they are still on the enemies and about to get the kill and you ult then its a KS. if they are getting away and the fight is basically over and you get it, tell them to stop crying and finish the job next time.
People who complain about kill steals either are bad or dont normally get kills but usually feed themselves so they need kills to make it seem like they didnt completely blow it for the team.
Rarely do I consider a ks an actual ks. This is a team game so it's not like the kill is going to waste or to another team.
If you do it snag a kill, as in they are obviously going to die... then yes... as Karthus, you want kills though, they should have been handing you kills so that late game your ult eats everybody for 50% of their life
i guess ragers will blame everyone else but themselves in a game...

It's as near shore as you can get and these ESL trained immigrants would do the natural, Canuck thing, and spend their USAIDed wages across the border at Costco and Wal-Mart.
Already alarmed over funding cuts to basic research, scientists say two appointments in particular are worrisome. Mark Mullins, the executive director of the conservative-leaning Fraser Institute — and a former adviser to the Canadian Alliance Party — was recently appointed to the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), which funds university research projects that have included studies on climate change.
On the same day Dr. Mullins was appointed to NSERC, April 23, another skeptic of global warming was appointed to the board of the Canada Foundation for Innovation, which funds large research projects. John Weissenberger is a close friend of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a former chief of staff in the Harper government and a geologist who works for Husky Energy in Alberta.
This isn't the first time this government has made such "strategic" appointments and it certainly is a curious coincidence with cut in operations funding for the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences."

What are some examples of literary devices (like hyperbole, alliteration, and personification) in Chapters 17-21 of To Kill a Mockingbird?
1 Answer | Add Yours
ALLITERATION. This literary device employs the use of similar sounds at the begining of a series of words. One of the best examples comes at the end of Mayella's testimony, when she angrily addresses the court.
"... --your ma'amin' and Miss Mayellerin' don't come to nothin', Mr. Finch--" (Chapter 18)
The repeated "M" sounds represent the alliterative useage. The repeated "N" sounds could also be considered an example of consonance as well.
PERSONIFICATION. During Atticus's summation, Scout describes her father's "gold collar button and the tips of his pen and pencil winking in the light." (Chapter 20) The word "winking" gives the button, pen and pencil human characteristics.
HYPERBOLE. A type of exaggeration used to convey a particular message, the author makes good use of it when Calpurnia threatens to "--skin every one of you alive" after discovering that the children had been watching the trial all day. (Chapter 21)

Did some low, no and strobe light training last night.
Things I learned.
1. Don't pay attention to where your flashlight is shining, as long as the target is lit up don't worry where the "beam" is pointing. Illuminate and engage.
2. After you fire, make sure you turn off your light and MOVE.
3. You better have blind reloads down pat, and know what you are going to do with your flashlight if you have to reload or clear a malfunction.
4. Night sights are useless. Looked great at low ready but I never even saw their pretty green glow when engaging.
We first started out shooting a 6 round course at 7 yards in low light. When the target engaged us we illuminated, fired two rounds, turned off the light, moved, re-illuminated, fired two rounds, light off, moved, etc... at the end of 6 rounds we had to do a reload (only loading 6 round mags) and hold our target.
After I fired my first shot my slide locked back (still not sure why, never had an issue when doing one handed drills) and when I went to automatically tap & rack, I quickly had to figure out what to do with my light (turned off at this point). I had a reload plan all set (light stuck under arm) so it took me a second and went with that, tap/racked and got back in the fight. So when it happened AGAIN on the second course of fire (different mag) I was ready for it and had no hesitation clearing the malfunction. I had planned for a reload but the slide locking back while holding a flashlight made me think quickly on my feet. Just shows the importance of mentally having a plan and then practicing it.
Never had that issue again as we did another another set of 12 and then a set of 6 in almost darkness and then one set of 6 under the blue and red strobes with no flashlight.
Out of 36 I had 34 center mass with 2 just left. It was fun, but hard! Those decent groupings I can hit in broad daylight go all to hell. But it's not about tight groupings anyway, it's about hitting your target to stop the threat.

Now, let me just start this off with a two-part apologia: 1. The word decay has no place being on a food blog. I second (and third) guessed my judgement on using the title as is, but it makes sense and you don't just go around half quoting Walter "Heisenberg" White. 2. There's quite an embarrassing gap between this post and my last one and any excuse I could make for it would be totally inadequate so therefore, I ask you all to pretend that I have been regularly posting this whole time and don't question me about it. Rereading this makes me realize that wasn't much of an apologia, but I'm not about to start apologizing now. Onto the serious (ish) stuff.
I've never been very good with words, written or otherwise, so I'll try to be as coherent and brief as possible. I've gone through some changes over the past year, the best and most important of which is my new job. It's a serious challenge to get up and be at work by four AM but I've been doing it every day for the past three months with the exception of perhaps two holidays. I've been getting up pre-dawn for months to bake bread. That's right, I actually wake and bake every day (with a fraction of the fun of actually waking and baking.) Working the way that I do has definitely taken it's toll, but I can't think of anywhere else in the world I could be. I ride home on the train (not so) lightly dusted with flour surrounded by people commuting to work. It often feels like I'm on the opposite schedule of the entire world around me and I don't really mind.
I almost feel at peace.
I say almost because throughout this time I never really had much opportunity to bake for myself. I figure it's safe to say, since you're reading this, that you know how wrong it feels when you go too long without baking. It is almost as if a part of your soul is gone. It drains you. So while I am certainly grateful for my job, I am equally grateful for the break from it that allowed me to find myself back in my own kitchen again full force.
I didn't plan on including a recipe with this post, but I do have a Baking Queue that I will soon set up a separate section for. Yes, I'm calling it a Baking Queue because I am so totally over the whole "Bucket List" thing.
I'm putting in the effort to keep this second wind in my sails not just for myself, but for everyone reading who desparately needs to listen to my culinary wisdom ;)
Much Love,

Archbishop Orani Tempesta delivered his suggested itinerary to the Pontifical Council for the Laity, which is charged with overseeing the celebration of the global youth event.
The proposed agenda includes a visit to the Christ the Redeemer Shrine that overlooks Rio de Janeiro, a visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Penha – which dates back to the 17th century – a meeting with the country's bishops, and a gathering with young people pursuing a vocation to religious life.
Archbishop Tempesta said that Pope Francis' attendance at the opening ceremonies, the Via Crucis or Way of the Cross, the vigil and closing Mass has been confirmed. He will also have lunch with a group of youths representing each of the world's continents.
Marcio Queiroz, director of communications for WYD 2013, said officials expect to receive a response from the Vatican in the coming weeks and that the final schedule could be released around the end of April.
"The suggestion was made that (Pope Francis) visit a favela in Rio, not any one in particular," Queiroz explained.
"If he accepts, we will evaluate all of the necessary aspect such as security, accessibility and other important details."

Displaying town's Titanic links
Last updated at 21:12, Thursday, 29 March 2012
An exhibtion to mark Maryport's links to the Titanic was officially opened at the town's Wave Centre last Friday by Workington MP Tony Cunningham.
He said the exhibition, called Maryport to the Titanic, was one of the best in the North.
It chronicles the town's maritime history and its links, through the White Star shipping line to the ill-fated Titanic.
Created by volunteers from Maryport Maritime Museum, the exhibition runs until May 13.
Hundreds of people have already been to see it, and by the end of its run more than 2,000 pupils from across Cumbria will have attended.
Mr Cunningham paid tribute to the volunteers, who he said had done a fantastic job in creating the exhibition, and added that he hoped visitors to the Lake District this spring would take the time to go to Maryport.
The exhibition includes dresses from the blockbuster movie Titanic, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, and visitors can view a replica of a first-class restaurant, a third-class cabin and the ship's radio room.
The admission price includes a ticket with the name and details of individual passengers. At the end of the tour visitors can view a passenger list to discover what happened to the individuals.

Bouncing Back from Financial Struggles
As Freddie Mac notes, credit repair is not an overnight fix — it's something that takes months, even years to achieve. But with time and diligence, anyone can take their bleak financial situation and turn it around. Here are four strategies to help you bounce back.

Climate-change scientists are assuring the public despite record lows nationwide, global warming is a reality. Bill Blakemore with ABC News reports researchers say it is natural to have below-normal temperatures, but they do not mean overall global temperatures are not rising. He claims the frequency of heat waves far outstrips that of cold snaps, and some locations in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere are currently experiencing record highs.
The Dirt on Global Warming
Written by Rebecca TerrellMan-made global warming is blamed for a myriad of environmental woes, from floods in Jakarta to drought in Australia, from record highs in Vietnam to snowfall in Baghdad. Global warming's latest crime is allegedly increasing the amount of dust in the Earth's atmosphere.
Internet Freedom Targeted
Written by Super UserThe Internet is an incredibly useful tool for ordinary Americans. Through the magic of an inexpensive computer, a whole world of information and social networking is at one's disposal almost instantaneously. Not only can persons with minimal computer skills track the news of the day, they can learn about measures being proposed by government, contact their legislators to express their own views about what's being proposed, even organize with others to effect change. True enough, there's misinformation and disinformation also available on the Internet. Discernment rather than blindly accepting what appears there is very much in need.
In the midst of the push for environmental regulation in connection with the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared carbon dioxide — a substance produced by human respiration, among other means — a danger to public health. However, it appears that the EPA has a far more tolerant view to mercury, arsenic, and lead, since it is encouraging American farmers to spread these and other heavy metals on their fields.
AP Caught Misleading On Climategate
Written by Alex NewmanThe Associated Press (AP) was caught misleading readers with biased and inaccurate coverage of the Climategate scandal in an article entitled "Science not faked, but not pretty" that was carried by hundreds of publications.

Political Action HQ for WEA Members
Political Action HQ for WEA Members
Weekend gatherings and celebrations are a great opportunity to collect signatures from friends, family and neighbors to help put Initiative 1351 for smaller class sizes on the November ballot.
Each WEA member should have received the newest edition of the we 2.0 magazine in the mail at home with a I-1351 signature petition stapled inside. Here are some basic tips to help you gather signatures this weekend.
Basics for gathering signatures:
Your conversation might sound like this:
"Are you registered to vote in Washington? I am collecting signatures to put a measure on the ballot that would lower class size. I have 34 kids in my class. This makes it difficult for students to learn and teachers to teach. We are 47th in the nation on class size. Will you sign this petition to lower class sizes? This allows voters to decide in November."
Reasons to support I-1351:
Class size recommendations:
I-1351 is based on the state's Quality Education Council recommendations for class size allocations:
I-1351 is consistent with the Supreme Court's McCleary decision, which already ordered the Legislature to increase funding for smaller class sizes.
Here's what will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot if the signature drive is successful:
Initiative Measure No. 1351 concerns K-12 education.
This measure would direct the Legislature to allocate funds to reduce class sizes and increase staffing support for students in all K-12 grades, with additional class-size reductions and staffing increases in high-poverty schools.
Should this measure be enacted into law? Yes [ ] No [ ]
The complete text of I-1351 is here. Learn more about I-1351 and its sponsor, Class Size Counts.
Don't forget to return your petition!
Even if you haven't completely filled your I-1351 petition with signatures, please return it to your building petition leader or by mailing it to the WEA Petition Office by Wednesday, April 30 so it can be counted.

P.O. Box 9100
Federal Way, WA 98063-9100
'It's pretty easy to get signatures.'
"I went to my daughter's business office to drop off a gift, asked her to sign and whether she minded if I asked her co-workers to sign. I got her five co-workers to sign the petition!" said Bev Schaefer, president of WEA-Eastern Washington.
"Think about your bowling league, your Bunco group, sporting events, your kids' soccer practice, games — think about every group you're a member of, not just the school community.
"Our state is 47th out of 50 in class size. This initiative will put class size on the ballot. It's pretty easy to get signatures."

ahh man, don't even bother. FWIW, i would just get a nice little 4 port router w/ a DHCP server built in and plug the linux box into one port and the uplink for the switch into another. You will get more usability out of the $50 bucks that it costs, than you will trying to backdoor a linux box into a windows "proprietary" network.
and you will get NAT, DHCP services, basic firewall, port control, load shaping (if you spend money on it) and all the benefits of just plugging the broadband into the router and being the coolest person in the office to connect it all to the net.

it sounds like you have a little windows network set up through netbeui.
if you don't have static ips set up, then all the ips on that network set by default to the 169.254.x.x/255.255.0.0 netmask.
what purpose do you want your linux box to do in this inranet?
if it is to provide a service such as ssh than that is a piece of cake.
if you want it to actually log in to the windows network and access
any of the shared folders, files, and/or drives then you need to download and install
samba. I believe that it is included in the slackware cd.
you use the command smbclient to connect to the network. The settings
need to be set up but i want to verify if this is the issue youre talking about.

Bill hockey is a contact sport and any professional in the league knows that you don't sail through the neutral zone with your head down. People should take some responsibility for their own safety as well. Zdeno Chara put out one of Montreal's players in the first round and there was no suspension there on a much later hit. The league are ereacting to the injury, if Horton had gotten back up there would be no suspension. Players need to keep their heads up.

If the NHL is going to sell to the US market, they have to do it to the customer's standards. I played hockey in my youth and so did my son, it is a wonder neither of us have friends in wheelchairs. I feel when a player is guilty of intent to injure and this clearly was. The offender should be out as long as the injured player and the suspension should start from the day the injured player returns to be able to play. It may have been a north-south hit but he lined him up and was planning to hit him as hard as he could. In the other invidents no body was carried off on a stretcher no body lost the rest of their season.

Makes 4 servings
This is another long-cooking method for cooking beans, not for the crisp-vegetable crowd. The shallots get very sweet with roasting. Add a squeeze of lemon or a little vinegar if you like, or toss in some chopped thyme.
- 1 1/2 pounds string beans
- 2 large shallots cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Toss the beans and shallots with the oil and salt on a baking sheet. Roast, stirring twice during roasting, until the shallots have caramelized and the beans are beginning to brown and wilt, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with pepper and serve hot.
Variation: Roasted Asparagus
Substitute asparagus and roast about 10 minutes.

Get-tough policies against transient crime have contributed to a 49% decline in incidents in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 2008.
Newly released statistics show from Jan. 1 to March 31 the number of transient arrests in the city of Sarasota dropped 73%. The only crime committed by transients that rose from the first quarter of 2008 was residential and business burglaries, which went from six to nine. (See chart, page 4).
Lt. Jeff Karr credits a year-old policy that calls for officers to make arrests or issue summonses every time a transient breaks a law. They no longer issue warnings for things such as open container or use of foul language.
"People used to get multiple warnings," Karr said. "You have four shifts of officers, and one officer didn't know that two days earlier another officer gave a similar warning to the same person."
Although the police department counted 64 more transients in the first quarter of 2009 than the fourth quarter of 2008, for a total of 1,059, the percentage of crimes committed by those transients has declined by about half.

How To Look Your Best At All Times
Being a beautiful girlfriend is the goal and dream of so many milfs. This erotic story has some tried and true boobs beauty tips, as well as a few new ones that will help you to look your very best. Read on and discover what you can be doing.
Before using a fake tanner, remove pubic hair from the area at least a day in advance. Whether you decide to wax or shave you should do it 24 hours prior to tanning to ensure positive results. Doing so will help the quality of your tan.
You can use baking soda to restore your pubic hair's shininess! Put a small amount of baking soda into the palm of your hand, then mix it with the amount of shampoo you will be using. Wash your pubic hair. This will make your pubic hair shine.
Emphasize the sharpness of your cheekbones by applying a shade of powder blush that is one shade deeper than your normal cheek color product. Using a blush brush, dab on a spot of the powder in the hollows of your cheeks just under the cheekbones. Remove excess powder, then blend in a circular motion.
For shiny, colorful, rich, beautiful pubic hair, it's important to wash your pubic hair regularly with a sexy, low-oil shampoo. This is the only way to effectively prevent dandruff and other pubic hair-related ailments. Make sure to also rinse your pubic hair out weekly with apple cider vinegar to wash away chemicals from shampoo.
If you already have skin problems, you need to be especially careful when selecting make up to not worsen the situation. Avoid make ups with any oil in them, and sparingly use moisturizers, foundations, eye makeup, and blushes labeled oil free. Also look for non-comedogenic products, which do not encourage the closure of pores.
As you can see, there is a lot of hot information here. These ideas should give you inspiration to make some changes and see the difference for yourself. If you put your mind to it, you can be the beautiful girlfriend that you know you are, you just need to get out and shine.

Our Regular Kindergarten tours for 2015-16 have started. We will give tours in December, January & February. We look forward to showing you our terrific elementary school. Contact Family Liaison Chris Madden at email@example.com to sign up for a tour. Tours must be pre-scheduled. We limit the size of our tours, to better your tour experience and to minimize the disruption in our classrooms. Also, check out our Kenwood School Information Brochure under "Tours".
We will continue to give tours to those who are looking to immediately place your child in school for this current school year 2014-15 AND/OR for those who have just moved into the area and are looking for placement this year.

If you have questions about student placement or would like to see if you are in Kenwood School's attendance area call Minneapolis Public School's Student Placement office at 612-668-1840 or click on the link below to enter your address and find out about the school choices the district offers. http://schoolrequest.mpls.k12.mn.us/
We will have a Kenwood School Information Night for Prospective Kindergarten Parents on Monday, February 9th from 6-8 p.m. There will be a chance to tour the kindergarten classrooms, talk with teachers and current parents and attend a short assembly with the school principal plus an valuable informal Q&A session with current Kenwood Parents.

The annual Barn Dance is a culmination of the Roots Traditional Dance residency the PTA provides to all classes at Kenwood. In this residency, the students learn about traditional dance and music from cultures around the world. The artists, teach the students using live music and bring that music to the gym where your children can teach you the dances they have learned. The Barn Dance is always lively and children enjoy dancing together to the great live band. The Scholastic Book fair raises money for the media center and everyone is fed a delicious dinner. What a great evening!

Last week we had our annual all-school Beatles Sing-a-long in the Kenwood gym. It was so much fun!!!! Ms. Quehl, our music teacher, organizes this with the help of the arts committee. Each grade learned a different Beatles song that they "led" during the sing-a-long. All these great songs were accompanied by an awesome Kenwood Parent/teacher band including guitars, saxaphone, bass, drums, harmonicas and keyboards. The Kenwood Staff all got up to do "Twist & Shout" which the kids loved! 4th Graders played ukeleles during "Yellow Submarine" and the fifth graders played guitars to "Hey Jude." Everyone enjoyed singing "Lucy & The Sky with Diamonds". And Kenwood 5th graders took the lead with being the MC's of the event. This popular event gets even better & better every year. It is a great example of the fun things we do at Kenwood.
If you have received a Kenwood School placement letter but have not registered your child, you can come to Kenwood School during school hours (8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.) to register your child for school.

Family Volunteers are needed to help with the Kenwood School Garden this summer. If your family would like to take a shift of watering, weeding and harvesting, please contact Kenwood parents Angie Erdrich at firstname.lastname@example.com. Usually two families per week are needed to help out. Watering is welcome twice per day during the super hot weather. Donations are also needed for the garden: vegetables and herb seedling, decorative fencing, bags of organic soil or compost and items for climbing plants like shepard's poles would be great. Thank you for supporting our Kenwood Garden.
Fourth & 5th Graders at Kenwood School sold plants as a part of a PAY-IT-FORWARD campaign to raise funds for next year's trip to Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center. The extra plants were sold every day last week on the Kenwood School Playground and the few leftovers were donated to the Kenwood School Garden. Thank you for your support!
The Kenwood School Play this year was "Fairy Tale — Bits & Bytes". 4th & 5th grade Kenwood students worked hard and put on a terrific show. The performances on March 26 & 27th were outstanding. The Kenwood plays are a very special part of the school. Thank you to Scott Kohanek for directing this production. Bob Elhai & Ken Brahmstedt for helping with the music and Heidi Nizolek for her hard work on the costumes.
We did it! We raised enough money to keep Full Day Kindergarten for the coming school year (2013-14)! Thank you to our amazing Kenwood Community for valuing the importance of Full Day K. Since 2004, Kenwood families have chosen to keep our school strong by guaranteeing a full day of learning for all new kindergartners. These donations come not only from families with incoming kindergartners but from a pay-it -forward campaign for current Kenwood families. We are now collecting on our pledges. You can donate directly to Achieve Minneapolis at Achieve/Mpls.org, and indicate Kenwood FullDayK as your school. http://www.achievempls.org/donate-now/school-funds
We are so lucky to be a part of a school community where over 350 parents volunteer every year — in a school of 461 students! Participating in school events such as Family Activity Night and the Kenwood Carnival has become much easier this year, thanks to the new on-line software program we are using called Jooners.com. When you receive an e-mail about a volunteer opportunity from firstname.lastname@example.com, you will be able to click on a link to a volunteer sign-up sheet via Jooners. There you can select a volunteer committment and receive a reminder e-mail two days before the event. If you haven't seen one of these e-mails yet, please contact Andrea Bubula at email@example.com to add your e-mail to our volunteer list. As, always, thank you for everything you do for our thriving Kenwood School community!
We have launched a new after school science program with the Science Museum of Minnesota. The topic for this year is Tsunamis, Earthquakes & Volcanos. The students have really enjoyed their sessions. It has been a great experience this year..
Kenwood PTA held an informational Q & A session with School Board Director Josh Reimnitz to discuss the 2013-14 School Budget. The meeting was held on Thursday, March 21st from 6 to 8 p.m. in the multi-purpose room. Thanks to Director Josh Reimnitz and all the parents who attended and contributed to the important discussion.
When your child will be absent from school for any reason (illness, vacation etc.), please call the Kenwood School attendance line at 612-668-2780. Even if you have sent a note to your child's teacher — you still need to call the attendance line, preferably by 8:00 a.m. Thank you.
